At the end of September Muffy Writes A Note was featured in the 2011 News & Documentary Emmy Awards Official Gift Bag - and as if that wasn't exciting enough, we were also invited to attend the Emmy Awards Show in New York and were able to distribte gift bags after the show!

In October one of our newer collections, Bitsy, was featured by Practical Horseman Magazine as a hot holiday gift. We are enjoying the increasing trend of equine accents in paper goods, clothing & accessories and think that our Bitsy Calling Cards, Note Cards and Invitations are a great holiday gift idea for the riders and horse-lovers in your life.

Ok, so I didn't ever exactly dream of driving a minivan. (Did anyone??)

However, with a multitude of practices, playdates and preschools near and far to get to on a daily basis, a vehicle that opens and closes it's own doors while entertaining four adorable mini-Wellingtons is a must. Take this as a very quiet shout-out to all you closeted minivan fans - I'm your people.

Anyhoo, how perfect are these darling roadie cups my dear friend Lee sent to me?!

Now if I could only get a sippy-cup lid to fit them.... Imagine the hidden possibilities!

Friends, I am so ready for this Memorial Day weekend! Nothing screams "Summer is here!" louder than a weekend at the beach complete with a parade in town, a crab feast, sailboat rides and cocktails at sunset. The Wellington clan's plan includes all these and perhaps a heated croquet match to boot!

Hip hip hooray for Pantone's choice for Color of the Year - Honeysuckle pink! They describe it as ...

A Color for All SeasonsCourageous. Confident. Vital. A brave new color, for a brave new world. Let the bold spirit of Honeysuckle infuse you, lift you and carry you through the year. It’s a color for every day – with nothing “everyday” about it.

While the 2010 color of the year, PANTONE 15-5519 Turquoise, served as an escape for many, Honeysuckle emboldens us to face everyday troubles with verve and vigor. A dynamic reddish pink, Honeysuckle is encouraging and uplifting. It elevates our psyche beyond escape, instilling the confidence, courage and spirit to meet the exhaustive challenges that have become part of everyday life. For more visit Pantone's website.

Of course, I totally agree and am humming "Think Pink" a la Kay Thompson in Funny Face, as I write. Check out some of my current favorite pink products ...

One of my closest friends is getting married this summer and asked for my help in planning. She wants an outdoor reception a la Jackie Kennedy ... well, who wouldn't?!!! So, in my quest for new ideas and inspirational sources for putting on such a soiree, I came across Newport Event Planner Nancy Swiezy's blog www.anewportaffaire.blogspot.com.
